we have so few needs, and so many players waiting for their turn (James/Jenkins), that i expect us to trade picks again for 2014 picks. Whitner is signed through 13, and i have no doubt they'll keep Goldson tag or not, so i don't see safety as a major need. If one falls where we pick then sure, but safety isn't really a need till 14 imo. If he continues to play as he has i hope they extend Whitner after the year.

I agree, I think the only "needs" for our team would be NT, TE, heir apparent to Justin Smith, jumpball height-weight-speed Moss heir apparent, Goodwin heir apparent and Whitner heir apparent.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a draft similar to New England last year.

JS is what 34? do you really believe he has 4-5 productive years left after banging in the trenches after all these years? i sure hope your right, im just not so sure. heres to 4-5 more year though. i really dont think its completely urgent either i just feel we have some serious flexibility in this years draft so it might be nice to draft a guy to groom. i wouldn't be mad at a Safety either though( having TJ macdonald patrolling the same outfield his dad did for years would be awesome!). but i think keeping that front seven strong not only for next year but for years to come is extremely important. but i would also be fine with BPA.

He turned 33 on Sunday against the Jets. And yes,I can see him playing 4-5 more years of quality football. He doesn't dominate with athleticism. He dominates with technique and football knowledge. I agree with you that keeping the front 7 strong is extremely important, but it is going to be near impossible to replace Justin Smith with anyone even remotely close to his equal. If Justin Smith was taken off of this team, the defense would go from being at the top of the league to somewhere in the middle of the pack. That's how important he is to what we do. Next time you watch a game, focus on Justin Smith for a series or two and you will see what I mean. Most people don't notice it, but even when he doesn't appear to be the one who made the play, he's the one who made it happen. I just don't think we can let him go in two years.

I don't know college players all that much, but I hope we start replenishing our defense to keep it such a strength. We went big on offense last draft, let's get some more beef up front and some young blood for the secondary.

I didn't want to throw this information out here. I was a 3 year varsity starter at QB in high school. I played quarterback in junior college as well. I was considering playing division 1 football as well but chose to pursue my career in business instead. However, currently I am helping train with Derek Carr from Fresno State get ready for his pro day and the draft. I am also working with Cody Kessler, the USC quarterback.

He's been beat a couple of times for big gains this year. He might be the third best safety (he's either 2nd or 3rd--him and McDonald are very close right now, but Jefferson is the clear-cut #1 safety right now). You don't typically see more than 1-2 safeties go in round 1 so one of Reid or McDonald should be there when we pick at #32.
